Okay, I enjoy this story but shit is getting crazy. o.o And according to this little gem from the wiki describing Korea's law codes:

"Due process

Both the Constitution and the Penal code contain provisions that prohibit ex post facto laws and violations of due process. In addition, the Constitution requires judicial warrants for arrest, detention, search, or seizure, except where a person suspected of a crime is caught in flagrante delicto (meaning in the very act of committing a misdeed) or where a person suspected of a sufficiently serious crime poses a risk of escape or destruction of evidence, in which cases an ex post facto warrant may be issued.

Additionally, no criminal suspect may be tortured or compelled to testify against himself. The Constitution also requires that a person arrested for a crime be given assistance of counsel (selected or appointed), be informed of the charges against him and of his right to counsel, and have the right to petition the court for habeas corpus. A person arrested for a crime also has the right to have his family or other close kin promptly notified as to the reason, time, and place of his detention."

everything that Seungbae is doing is illegal and would probably be unusable in any court case they tried to build. I'm not a lawyer or anything but I feel like one could shred this case to pieces at present. I mean from any sane Judge's perspective Seungbae broke into a man's house, assaulted him, arrested him with no proof of any actual wrongdoing being committed and then accused him of multiple counts of murder with zero proof.

He's gonna look fucking crazy. And his background is only going to damn him further. O.o This case has burst into flames before it even got off the ground. The absolutely only thing that could even get this in court would be Bum acting as a witness. But he's obviously not all there mental health-wise so a good lawyer would use that to get his testimony dismissed. I'm not saying that Sangwoo is going to get away with murder but, uh... it seems like he's gonna be getting away with murder.

    Dunno how the law works i South Korea, but he's the archetypal bad-boy rogue cop who takes justice into his own hands & eventually falls from grace, like Detective Stabler from Law & Order. Ooh, those two are quite alike.
